Chapter 246 Zheng Zhilong’s lion opens his mouth

Chapter 245

The war at the Batavia port finally came to an end. In this battle, the Dutch East India colonial army dispatched eight regiments of more than 13,000 people. Six of the regiments were maimed, and more than 7,500 people were killed or injured.

The total number of Ming soldiers who actually fought against them was only about 4,500.

Equivalent to one-third of the Dutch East India Colonial Army. In terms of equipment, the Ming Army did not have any advantage. It even did not have time to fire the six three-inch cannons it only carried. The Ning Haijun Tiaodang Camp did not have any equipment.

Even if it is just one musket, the Dutch East India colonial army had nearly two thousand muskets.

These Dutch East India colonial troops were well-trained and experienced in combat, especially in suppressing the indigenous tribes and Chinese who did not obey the management of the Dutch East India Governor-General. Under normal circumstances, the colonial troops were dispatched.

In fact, the number of casualties suffered by the Dutch East Indian colonial army was far greater than that of the Ning Navy, because many colonial troops jumped into the river in order to escape. More than 3,000 people were drowned alone, and eight regiments of colonial troops attacked

, less than 1,500 people returned. The others were either drowned or surrendered directly. Ning Haijun captured more than 2,000 people.

Twenty-seven people from the Ning Navy were killed, and 62 of them were injured. These wounded soldiers were mainly minor injuries. After all, the weapons in the hands of the Dutch East India colonial army were basically unable to cause fatal damage to the soldiers in the Tiaodang Camp. Of course,

It’s not that the Dutch East India Company’s military equipment was not good. In fact, their muskets still caused huge damage to the soldiers who jumped into the camp. Ninety-nine percent of the deaths and 80% of the injuries were caused by muskets.

.

Even after the battle was over, Li Weiluan still had some lingering fears. Fortunately, the Tiaodang camp's establishment would not be expanded any further. With the development of technology, no matter how thick the armor was, it was difficult to achieve 100% safety in the face of muskets.

Regarding this war, everyone is in a different position and has different views on the war. The natives are very afraid because they find the Ming army more terrifying than the Dutch. Of course, the Dutch are invincible in their eyes

, and at this time, Commander Ning had turned into a terrifying devil in their eyes.

Of course, most Chinese people are very happy. The arrival of Ning Haijun, especially Li Weiluan, also accepted their gifts, which means that the Dutch will not dare to cause trouble to them in the future, let alone the natives now.

The Dutch were both shocked and angry. What shocked them was the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. Unfortunately, they also personally experienced the combat effectiveness of the Ming army...

The West Port area of ​​Batavia finally gradually returned to calm. The corpses of the killed Dutch Indian colonial soldiers were laid out on the ground like piles of tangled mess. There were pools of blood everywhere, and the remains of human bodies and broken arms were everywhere.

, there are also many corpses of colonial soldiers floating in the river, which can scare people's courage.

It was under such circumstances that Sidney came to the Westport District. Behind him were the released Chinese, densely packed and dense.

Ning Haijun soldiers had already begun to clean the battlefield. In the same way, all the clothes on the corpse were stripped off, and all weapons and equipment, including the money and personal belongings carried on the corpse, were also sorted and put together.

A huge incinerator has been built in the downwind northwest of the port. These corpses will be pulled over and burned. If these corpses are left on the dock, they will soon stink and may cause a plague. This will be very serious.

Troublesome things.

As for the prisoners of the Dutch East India colonial army, they were cleaning the bloodstains on the ground, as well as human organs and parts, with great meekness.

"stop!"

"Excuse me sir!"

Sidney had a strong sense of inferiority when faced with the heavy infantry of the Ning Navy. He had no choice. These heavy infantry were either from Liao, Beizhili, Shandong, or Henan. Their average height was over 1.85 meters, and they were both big and round. Otherwise,

They couldn't carry the heavy armor weighing forty-eight kilograms, and combined with their Mo Dao, the whole body was carrying more than eighty kilograms of weight.

You must know that when the heavy infantry was recruited, there were more than 20,000 people who met Ning Haijun's selection standards. In the end, they only protected a staff of more than 4,800 people, which was equivalent to selecting one from a thousand.

The heavy infantrymen of the Ning Navy who were on guard duty wore face shields, and it was impossible to see their expressions clearly. They were almost the same height, the same body shape, and the same equipment. In Sidney's view, they looked like they were carved from the same mold.

Same.

In fact, even if Ning Haijun took off his visor and revealed his appearance, in Sidney's eyes, these Chinese people were almost all carved from the same mold.

After getting the translation from the translator, the Ning Navy soldier said coldly: "Wait!"

Just when Sidney arrived, the tall Xu Tong stood next to Li Weiluan and said with a wry smile on his face: "General Li, how do we calculate our military exploits in this battle?"

In Xu Tong's view, these colonial armies were very weak, and the Luzon colonial army that fought them was even stronger than them.

Li Weiluan smiled and said: "Didn't the Marshal say that when he was in Luzon? We are now in a foreign war, and all enemies are counted according to their military merits!"

"But……"

"But what? Are they civilians?"

"no!"

"They are not civilians, but established soldiers, so naturally they have to count their military exploits!"

Li Weiluan smiled and said: "We can't count on how strong our enemies are."

Xu Tong scratched his head and said: "In the battle in Luzon, I beheaded thirty-seven people. In the battle last night, I beheaded one level. Today, I beheaded eleven. The total is..."

"Forty-nine!"

Li Weiluan said: "It's very good. You can get 3,675 acres of land. Have you thought about it? Where are you going?"

“Let’s go to Liaoyang!”

Xu Tong smiled and said: "If my father knew that there are less than 2,000 acres of land in Jinzhou, he would definitely be heartbroken!"

"If you want more land, then go to Luzon. With your military exploits in Luzon, you should be able to get nearly 40,000 acres of land!"

"I plan to buy 500 acres in Jinzhou to keep for my father's retirement. I want 2,000 acres in Liaoyang and let my third brother take charge of Jingying there. I plan to keep the rest in Luzon!"

"Stay in Luzon?"

Li Weiluan asked in confusion: "Are you planning to stay in Luzon?"

"I figured it out!"

Xu Tong sighed and said: "Luzon has my inner demons. I can't sleep well without Luzon!"

"What a damn inner demon, I think you can't bear to part with that pretty widow!"

Li Weiluan cursed: "You're such a worthless bear!"

"Ha ha!"

There was a burst of laughter from all around.

Ning Haijun's military discipline is relatively strict, especially regarding the relationship between men and women. But the problem is that Cheng Shijie is a person of later generations and has the inertial thinking of later generations.

When formulating this discipline, he considered protecting vulnerable groups. He does not engage in free love, and this issue is not popular in this era.

However, when I was in Luzon, considering that the population of Luzon was too small, especially the Chinese people, this restriction was relaxed. As long as you are over 18 years old, you can apply to the supervisor for marriage with your partner.

Although Xu Tong was not married, he fell in love with Tao, a pretty widow from Zhenghe Port. Tao was the wife of fisherman Lin Sen. When Lin Sen went to sea, he encountered a Spanish patrol fleet and was targeted by the Spanish fleet.

into pieces.

In this way, Tao became a widow. She lived with a pair of children. The eldest son was seven years old and the youngest daughter was five years old. While Xu Tong was guarding the Spanish prisoners, Tao's seven-year-old son Lin Dazhuang hit the Spanish prisoners of war with stones.

, at such a young age, he was very ruthless, but when he was hitting the prisoner, he hit Xu Tong on the body.

Tao apologized to Xu Tong on Lin Dazhuang's behalf, and Xu Tong felt that Lin Dazhuang was like his nephew who died young. Xu Tong gave the canned food that he did not eat to Lin Dazhuang. The gangster who originally bullied Tao disappeared naturally. Tao

Let Lin Dazhuang recognize Xu Tong as his godfather.

As soon as they went back and forth, the relationship between the two became natural.

Xu Tong decided to marry Tao.

While Li Weiluan and Xu Tong were chatting, the garbage on the dock, that is, the corpses of the colonial soldiers, had almost been cleaned up. The ground on the dock had also been cleaned, but the smell of blood in the air was still very pungent.

"Tell the general that the Dutch want to restart negotiations!"

Li Weiluan said: "Inform Mr. Xie that it is his business to negotiate with us!"

"yes!"

Xie Jinglin came to Sidney and said coldly: "What are you doing here?"

"I have been ordered by His Excellency the Governor to come to discuss the resumption of negotiations!"

Sidney felt that he was surrounded by a pack of wolves, which was very unnatural. From the moment he arrived at Batavia's Westport District, and stepped ashore, he was already being stared at by hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes without even looking.

.

"I'm very sorry. After the last negotiation was unreasonably suspended by your governor, I think we have no need to negotiate now!"

Xie Jinglin knew very well that Brewer sent people to restart negotiations and use negotiation to reduce losses. This is really a joke. Is it possible?

What cannot be obtained on the battlefield is naturally impossible to obtain at the negotiation table. Now the Ning Navy has a huge advantage over the Dutch. This is due to the victory of Luzon and Cheng Shijie's toughness in facing the Western Yi. This makes Nanyang

Chinese people everywhere have more and more confidence in Cheng Shijie.

These Chinese also know very well that if they want to keep the wealth they have accumulated over the years, they can only cooperate with Cheng Shijie. At least they still have a chance to survive and keep their wealth, but the Dutch or other colonial powers will not leave them any chance.

Next penny.

Originally, the firing of the cannon would bring thousands of taels of gold, but the problem is, with the Nanyang Chinese giving blood to Ning Haijun, Cheng Shijie is really not short of money now.

Of course, the Dutch East India Company was not short of money, they were just short of people.

"Sir, you can't do this. God is merciful. Too many people have died. As a member of the civilized world, we should not fight bloody like barbarians..."

While Sidney was talking, he found Ning Haijun at the port, registering all the Chinese.

"Name!"

"Lin Bufan!"

"age!"

"Fifty-three years old!"

"Hometown!"
